Re: [Ltib] Linux Mint 1.6: Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib line 834

[Johan Cockx]

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for your reply.  I'm a few steps further now,  but ltib is not working yet.  See below.

The wget command works,  and produces exactly the expected output,  so network connectivity seems fine.  Also,  I know I am not behing a proxy.

Anyway,  I have installed libwww-perl and the initial messages have disappeared.  Also,  the rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz error has disappeared.

The next error was that the 'flex' command was not found,  so I have done `sudo apt-get install flex' as well,  and manually removed /opt/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/lkc-1.4 before retrying. Shouldn't a check for flex have been included earlier in the ltib script? 

Anyway,  I tried again,  and now I get the following error for the git:

As a side note,  ltib initially complained about a number of missing packages,  including ncurses-devel and zlib-devel.  However,  'apt-get install ncurses-devel'  and 'apt-get install zlib-devel' cannot find these packages (in the default Mint repositories).  It took me some time to figure out that libncurses5-dev and zlib1g-dev provide the required functionality.  Would it be a good idea to include this information in the ltib output,  so that other first-time installers don't loose time?

Regards,  Johan

Hi Johan,

The warnings mean that ltib can't test whether or not proxies/networking is available.

I suspect from your error: "Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib line 834".
you have network connectivity problem.

To check this, on the machine you're running ltib, make sure you can run:

wget -q -O - bitshrine.org/gpp/rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.md5

It should show: b92c46d5add17d6edff235d776cc1af3  rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz

If that doesn't work you don't have Internet access.  That means you may need to configure the .ltibrc if you're behind a proxy.

Ideally you should install the missing HTTP::Request::Common and LWP::UserAgent Perl modules, these should be in libwww-perl, so: sudo apt-get install libwww-perl

Hi,

I'm trying to install ltib on Linux Mint 1.6,  but no succes: the error is "Can't get: rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz at ./ltib line 834".

This is the first time that I am trying to use LTIB. I did the following:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/ltib co -P ltib
cd ltib
./ltib

Output is:

Don't have HTTP::Request::Common
Don't have LWP::UserAgent
Cannot test proxies, or remote file availability without both
HTTP::Request::Common and LWP::UserAgent

Installing host support packages.

This only needs to be done once per host, but may take up to
an hour to complete ...

If an error occurs, a log file with the full output may be found in:
/home/johan/ltib/host_config.log

If you would like to see the log messages as the host packages are built and
installed:

   * Open another terminal in the same directory
   * Run the command: tail -f host_config.log
   * When you're done with the tail, use CTRL+C to exit

Exiting on error or interrupt
Please see >> /home/johan/ltib/host_config.log for details

I don't understand the first four lines (about HTTP and LWP);  is this related?

Here are the contents of host_config.log:
